6 Tablets - Single Treatment for UTIs.

Ciprofloxacin is An FDA-approved broad-spectrum antibiotic that belongs to a class of drugs called fluoroquinolones. Due to its strength and potential side effects, it's typically reserved for complex cases where other antibiotics are ineffective.

Ciprofloxacin carries a black box warning due to the risk of disabling and potentially permanent side effects of the tendons, muscles, joints, nerves, and central nervous system. In line with FDA guidance, we have determined that fluoroquinolones, such as Ciprofloxacin, should be reserved for use in patients with no other treatment options for uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTIs), because the risks generally outweigh the benefits. In response to these concerns, we are removing Ciprofloxacin from our treatment protocols for UTIs and will be recommending alternative antibiotics that are both effective and have a better safety profile. Alternative options can be found here.

Overview

Despite our best efforts, UTIs are as common as tanlines. Whenever bacteria passes into the urinary tract it can travel up into the bladder where it wreaks havoc. Common symptoms include a burning sensation during urination, an urgent or frequent need to urinate, urine that appears cloudy, dark, or has an unusual odor, and pain in the lower abdomen. While most UTIs can be effectively treated with a brief course of antibiotics, neglecting to treat them can lead to severe complications. Cipro (Ciprofloxacin) is an antibiotic that can help treat severe UTIs. However, due to its risk profile, it's typically reserved for more complex cases or UTIs that have proven difficult to treat. There are several other alternative medications available that are both highly effective and carry fewer risks, making them safer options for most UTI cases.

Symptoms of a urinary tract infection (UTI) can worsen rapidly. If the infection spreads and medication for UTI is not administered, severe infections can occur. Providers at Wisp are capable of examining medical records within a few hours and promptly prescribe antibiotics at a patient's local pharmacy.

So glad to hear about Wisp!

While waiting to get in to see a new pcp, of course I get a uti. The thought of waiting until the third week of February for relief was terrifying. I mentioned to my RN daughter that a uti was coming on fast and she suggested WISP!! ohmygoodness, what a life-saver!

I'm so thankful to have WISP as a back...

I’m so thankful to have WISP as a back up to urgent care. My PCP is booked out so far in advance that when an urgent situation comes up (when it comes to a UTI) I know I will be taken care of!

Awesome experience

When travelling, I had UTI symptoms which was diagnosed quickly without the need for an appointment. I was able to pick up a prescription right away, so now am feeling better.

UTI lifesaver!!!!!

Was panicked about a UTI and not being able to get a last minute appointment and so grateful I found Wisp! I was so skeptical at first but after reading positive reviews I decided to give it a try…Within just a few minutes I was contacted by a doctor and a prescription was sent over to my local pharmacy for pick up! Wish I knew about this sooner and I will most definitely be telling everyone I know about it!

Really helpful, easy and fast!

Really helpful, easy, and fast! I started having UTI symptoms while sick with covid, and I just didn't want to have to deal with getting a last-minute doctor's appointment. Plus, this turned out to be cheaper than going to the doctor, even with my insurance. I did everything online on Wisp and had meds at my pharmacy the next day! All better now. :) I'll definitely come back if needed in the future.

Fast and convenient

Fast, convenient and affordable. I’ve been getting UTIs and my pcp always wants me to get my urine tested in office before prescribing meds. It’s hard getting off work to do all that. I can test my urine at home myself and i know when i have a uti. This company puts my mind and body at ease knowing that i can get medicine and relief fast so that i can feel better.
